How many dogs do you own? Do you breed them to sell some of the puppies? I own mini dachshunds. I own 4 of them 2 male and 2 female. One of my females had 4 puppies all boys and one girl. Here is a picture of the babies.

I personally own one dog, which just so happens to be a miniature dachshund as well. :) She is my baby. My parents own a standard dachshund and have always had dachshunds, so that is what I grew up with. Growing up, our dachshund had a litter of puppies 3 times. Each time, she had 5 puppies. We never had a hard time selling them at $250 a piece back then, which was in the 1980's. We have had people calling us ever since still asking if we have any puppies or will have any more. It was so much harder to find dachshund puppies for sale back then. Now it seems like the miniatures are really popular. I paid $300 for mine, about 2 years ago. Strawberrybaby39, your puppies are so cute!! Makes me want another one! :)

I got one more puppy to put back in the paper to sell. I get so close to even the puppies. But I know I can't keep anymore. I own 4 as it is. And I spoil them to pieces. I love my dogs.

I would love another puppy, but I just had a baby a month ago, and it's hard just making sure I still give my one dog lots of attention, so I definitely can't do any more dogs right now, but maybe later on down the road. My dachshund is 2 years old right now, so I can't wait until the baby is older and they can play together. They are gonna be best friends. I can already see it. :)

I have 3 dogs. 2 Boxers and an English Springer Spaniel. My grandma breeds boxers and sells the puppies. That is her buisness outside of her daycare. She gets a lot for her pups too, since they are out of show dogs!

I have just one male labrador.He is two and half years old.I somehow can never bring myself to have females. I think its lot more messier and too much botheration with them getting pregnant and having to litter.I have always kept just one male dog at a time.Keeping a pet is like having another kid at home.It needs so much attention that's why I prefer to have just one.Hats off to those of you who are able to manage so many dogs.

That seems like a lot of puppies for a mini doxie, do they usually have that many? How much are you able to sell them for these days? I love those dogs but have never had one.

I was surprised when she held that many. Her ribs were puffed out. My other mini female can only hold 2 pups know more then that. My puppies run about $250.00 for the females and $225.00 for the males. I payed way higher for one of my males and one of my females. over $350.00 for them.

I gave my wife a shih tzu puppy but when we moved out from our home in paranaque and live with my parents, she let her older sister take good care of Neko. we decided to move in here because no one would take good care of our two month old son. both of us are working and we can't let a nanny to handle our first baby. here at my parents house, we have got two cute shih tzu puppies. we bought them at cartimar in pasay city.

I wouldn't let anyone take care of my first born either. The dog you gave your wife they are pretty. with both of you working that is pretty hard on you your wife and the baby.
